Syracuse Police has made arrests in two recent investigations.
On September 17th, 2017 at approximately 2:30 AM, Syracuse Police Officers responded to a complaint made against a driver for Uber. The victim, an 18 year old female, reported that she requested a ride to her home from Ostrum Avenue utilizing the Uber App on her phone. The victim reported that on the ride home, the driver reached back and started to rub her leg and thigh area. The driver then reportedly drove to a secluded parking lot and began to make lewd comments to her. The victim was able to run away from vehicle to her home, and called for the police.
On October 29th, 2017 at approximately 1:30 AM, a 22 year old female stated that she was walking in the 1200 block of W. Fayette Street when she was approached by a taxi cab. The driver of the cab offered the victim a ride home, indicating that he would not charge her. The victim reported that she sat in the front seat, and during the ride home, the driver grabbed her hand and pulled it towards his lap. The victim stated that the driver had his pants unzipped, and continued to push her hand into his lap. The victim demanded that the driver stop the car and she ran home to call for the police.
Detectives from the SPD Abused Persons unit working on these investigations determined that the suspect from both of the incidents was the same person. After several interviews, and collecting evidence about these events, Detectives were able to identify a suspect.
On December 7th, 2017, Detectives charged Ibrahim M. Aden, 34 years old, with Unlawful Imprisonment in the 2nd degree and Harassment in the 2nd degree for the Uber incident, and Sexual Abuse in the 1st degree for the taxi cab incident.

The Syracuse Police Department is re-accredited by NYS agency.
On September 25, 2017 the Syracuse Police Department underwent a compliance audit for re-accreditation with the New York State Law Enforcement Accreditation Program. The Accreditation Program is comprised of 110 professional standards. An agency must show continual compliancy in each and every standard to achieve and maintain an accredited status. Participation in this program is voluntary, and a re-assessment occurs every 5 years.
In the assessor’s final report, he stated: “The Syracuse Police Department is an excellent law enforcement agency and has had a long history of accreditation compliance. Policies and procedures are now clearly written, and documentation provided demonstrates that all applicable standards have been implemented. Departmental personnel were cordial and cooperative during the visit and all personnel were very professional in their approach to the assessment. I found the atmosphere of the Department to be very customer oriented, clean, and morale to be very good. Additionally, the Department was able to readily acquire requested proofs of documentation to verify compliance with applicable standards. It is therefore the opinion of this Compliance Auditor that the agency is in compliance with all applicable accreditation standards as noted in this report. The Department demonstrated that it would maintain continuous compliance with the program standards. After careful consideration, I recommend that the City of Syracuse Police Department be favorably considered for reaccreditation at this time.”
On December 7, 2017, in Albany New York, Chief Fowler and 1st Deputy Chief Cecile accepted the plaque for the Department’s reaccreditation.
The success of this re-assessment lies with the commitment to duty and professionalism of each and every member of the Syracuse Police Department, shown not only during the re-assessment process, but on a daily basis throughout the past five years.
The New York State Law Enforcement Accreditation Program became operational in 1989. The Syracuse Police Department has been accredited since 1992. According to the New York State Law Enforcement Accreditation Program’s 2011 Annual Report, as of December of 2011, of the 571 eligible law enforcement agencies in the State, 136 are currently accredited, or approximately 24%.
The New York State Law Enforcement Accreditation Program enables administrators to strengthen existing procedures while simultaneously creating a solid foundation for the agency's future. The benefits of accreditation include:
•​Independent confirmation that policies comply with professional standards
•​Assurance of fair recruitment, selection and promotion processes
•​Diminished vulnerability to civil law suits and costly settlements
•​Enhanced understanding by agency personnel of agency policies and procedures
•​Greater administrative and operational effectiveness
•​Greater public confidence in the agency
Accreditation is a progressive and contemporary way of helping police agencies evaluate and improve their overall performance. It provides formal recognition that an organization meets or exceeds general expectations of quality in the field. Accreditation acknowledges the implementation of policies that are conceptually sound and operationally effective.
